(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.
Reason :
All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.
Answer: 9938.8 km
Explanation:
1 pound-force = 4.48 N
30.0 pounds-force = 134.4 N
The force of gravitation between Earth and object on the surface of is given by:

Where M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the object, R (6371 km) is the radius of the Earth.
At height, h above the surface of the Earth, the weight of the object:

we need to find "h"
taking the ratio of two:

Hence, Pete would weigh 30 pounds at 9938.8 km above the surface of the Earth.
Answer:
If they are metallic spheres they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches
non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing
Explanation:
For fillers, there are two fundamental methods, depending on the type of material.
If they are metallic spheres, they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches, this induces a charge of opposite sign and of equal magnitude, then it removes the contact to earth and the sphere is charged.
If the non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing with some material or touching with another charged material, in this case the sphere takes half the charge and when separated each sphere has half the charge and with equal sign.
Answer:
A. the internal energy stays the same
Explanation:
From the first law of thermodynamics, "energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.
Based on this first law of thermodynamic, the new internal energy of the gas is the same as the internal energy of the original system.
Therefore, when the partition separating the two halves of the box is removed and the system reaches equilibrium again, the internal energy stays the same.
